I'm doing a bit of work on my 914 and want to take care of the leaking push rod tubes. I have new o-rings and have read that I can use RTV silicone to help the o-rings seal. My question is: Do I simply have to remove the rocker arms, slide the push rods back far enough to get the old o-rings off, clean up the ends of the tubes, RTV the o-rings and reassemble everything? I have the car elevated enough to be able to work from the under side and it looks like there is not enough room to slide the tubes completely out of the heads but enough room to replace the o-rings. Thanks, Roger '89 Westy '73 914 '66 Beetle
